A green roof is more than just a pretty sight…it’s a highly effective way to boost energy efficiency and improve drainage. The multiple layers, including a waterproof membrane, drainage system and vegetation, working together to trap heat in winter and block excess heat in summer. This leads to lower energy bills and a more stable indoor climate year-round.
Green roofs also help manage stormwater, absorbing up to 60% of rainfall before it reaches drainage systems. This reduces the risk of flooding, standing water and drainage overflow, ensuring compliance with SuDS (Sustainable Drainage Systems) regulations.
